Through Us, Not From Us

What I have come to understand is that everything our senses experience has come through us, not from us. In other words, the material world is already created, so its slow vibration is only the reflection of highly potent “pre-manifested energy.” So, if what is already out there, people, animals, things, isn’t a “source,” what is?

The famous tenor, Luciano Pavarotti, was asked “What does it feel like to sing like that?” He said (paraphrase) “You fall backwards into the arms of God and the voice comes through you, not from you.” Of course, he tuned his “instrument” over his lifetime and created a sacred, vibrational alignment to express his gift.

Our biggest mistake as humans is to seek from the material level what can only come through us from the Invisible where all things originate. This leads to chronic frustration and disappointment. It leads to overconsumption and serial relationships in search of that “special thing, or that special one.” The most inspiration exists before a song, a relationship, a painting, a book comes into manifestation. There are unique gifts waiting to be expressed through each of us. We must find the alignment with the Invisible asking to be manifest through each of us to avoid the addiction to things and to other people.

In faith and stillness, clearing the pathways of awareness and receptivity, may each of us overcome our addictions to that which is in the world and reach for that which is not of this world.

With love, Rosanne

The Golden Mean

As 2020 winds down (Lord have mercy), it is more and more apparent that no extreme, whether conservative or liberal, will serve this nation.  What will serve us all is knowing when to favor individual freedom and knowing when to pull in the reins of compliance and lead through crisis. We are creatures of community.…

What is a “Deal”?

Although the current political climate is disturbing and disruptive, it is still useful. Exposed is the long-hidden underbelly of ego and manipulation that used to be called “back room politics.” Now, the back room has transparent windows and we can see into the proverbial smoke-filled rooms where wheeling and dealing takes place. A “deal” in…

Our narcissism in the face of Nature’s fury has again brought us to our knees! As we watch those who have not realized that humility is a vital part of getting along fall prey to the pandemic, a great service is being offered. Those who aren’t fans of our president are saying “Aha! You deserve…

Bargains…

By Rosanne Bostonian | October 2, 2020

The marketing approach of many businesses involves touting bargains.  The notion of 25% to 50% off is designed to woo us into buying mode. We are supposed to take our stimulus money and buy, buy, buy! The problem is that the stuff they want us to buy, like new windows, landscaping, patio sets and new…

The Lessons of 2020

By Rosanne Bostonian | August 26, 2020

There is no doubt that our human minds would not select the challenges we are facing. The layer of unfamiliarity and suffering can either make us victims or open our eyes (20/20). Victimhood is disempowering. It says we are small and incapable and that world events are turning against us.  What if these magnified events…

High winds call for flexibility. The recent storm, Isiais, blew the heck out of trees. The most rigid trees lost branches or met their demise. As a result, “power was down.” This is a sign that holding a set position is not always the best strategy to weather hard times. Our current national posturing of…

Masked life requires more eye expression.  Are you finding that people are averting their gazes when you try to make eye contact? I am trying to practice eye smiling in the mirror.  I don’t have a drop of Irish blood in me, as far as I know, but I get an “A” for effort!  So…

Act Two

When you have gone to the theater and an “act” is over, there is intermission.  Everyone gets out of their seats, stretches and moseys to the rest rooms and refreshments, discussing what they have just seen and heard.  These last three months have felt like a long intermission. There have been debates, discussions, disagreements and…

The Versatile Mask

The cortex of the human brain has no limits.  It will continue to bob and weave through wars, recessions and pandemics.  We are irrepressible thinkers, chewing on past, present and future in circuitous and sometimes foolish ways. As a devotee of foolishness as relief from bad news, I have been observing the versatility of face…
